I haven't really heard anything we're arguing about at the moment between Belgium and the U.S.

And I think President Trump was supportive.

in a special way about making sure that these Russian sovereign assets here in Euroclear were safe and secure so that this could also be used in the negotiating table by Steve Witkoff and the President and Secretary Rubio.

If that money was not here...

and someone had taken it or borrowed it or played with it or deployed it or invested it for whatever purposes they were thinking, I think it would be very dangerous for the negotiating table interests that are going on.

So the fact that Bart De Waver, who is, I think, a great prime minister of Belgium, stood up to the EU pressure,

on this is very admirable.

I think it was very hard for him to do that, but I'm very proud of him for doing that because if you're a business person, listen, you're on Bloomberg.

People understand this.

If you have a clearinghouse that clears $45 trillion a year, you cannot mess with that system.

And the uncertainty and instability of taking that money out would have been catastrophic.

President Trump has been speaking about Greenland for a long, long time.

And I don't think the Danes were listening, I'll be honest with you.
